Oil-bodies in 12 species of foliose Indian liverworts have been studied. The identical results obtained in three species, viz. Heteroscyphus argutus (Reinw. & al.) Schiffn., Heteroscyphus bescherellei (Steph.) S. Hatt. and Lejeunea flava (Sw.) Nees, investigated earlier also in Indian bryology, confirms the taxonomic significance of these special intra-cellular structures.
